Santiago Rufino, Pharm.D.

You have to know which drugs can be
taken with what other
drugs and which can’t, if you
want to own a pharmacy like
I did. Too bad there’s no
equivalent science
for mixing personalities.
Two people who are whole
on their own can form less
than the sum of their parts when mixed.
The Ridley-Sampsons there
are a good example.
Fine as individuals but
disastrous when blended
and resulting in a
toxic reaction like their son.
Even an expert can
be surprised sometimes, like
when my wife poisoned me to death
with chemicals that she
pilfered from my own store.
